Fix typing lag in long comment threads (PAPA-63) (#3163)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue detail page displays comment threads with rich timeline
rendering
> - Long threads (100+ items) cause severe typing lag in the comment
composer because every keystroke re-renders the entire timeline
> - CDP tracing confirmed 110ms avg key→paint latency and 60 long tasks
blocking the main thread for 3.7s total
> - This pull request memoizes the timeline, stabilizes callback props,
debounces editor observers, and reduces idle polling frequency
> - The benefit is responsive typing (21ms avg, 5.3× faster) even on
threads with 100+ timeline items

## What Changed

- **CommentThread.tsx**: Memoize `TimelineList` with `useMemo` so typing
state changes don't re-render 143 timeline items; extract
`handleFeedbackVote` to `useCallback`; added missing deps
(`pendingApprovalAction`, `onApproveApproval`, `onRejectApproval`) to
useMemo array
- **IssueDetail.tsx**: Extract inline callbacks (`handleCommentAdd`,
`handleCommentVote`, `handleCommentImageUpload`,
`handleCommentAttachImage`, `handleInterruptQueued`) to `useCallback`
with `.mutateAsync` deps (not full mutation objects) for stable
references; add conditional polling intervals (3s active / 30s idle) for
`liveRuns`, `activeRun`, `linkedRuns`, and timeline queries
- **MarkdownEditor.tsx**: Debounce `MutationObserver` and
`selectionchange` handlers via `requestAnimationFrame` coalescing
- **LiveRunWidget.tsx**: Accept optional `liveRunsData` and
`activeRunData` props to reuse parent-fetched data instead of duplicate
polling

## Verification

- Navigated to [IP address]:3105/PAPA/issues/PAPA-32 (thread with 100+
items)
- Typed in comment composer — lag eliminated, characters appear
instantly
- CDP trace test script (`test-typing-lag.mjs`) confirmed: avg 21ms
key→paint (was 110ms), 5 long tasks (was 60), 0.5s blocking (was 3.7s)
- Ran `pnpm test:run` locally — all tests pass

## Risks

- Low risk. All changes are additive memoization and callback
stabilization — no behavioral changes. Polling intervals are only
reduced for idle state; active runs still poll at 3–5s.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`) via Claude Code CLI, with tool use
and extended context
